I set the theme for my windows 8 desktop app like so.

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme= new Windows8TouchTheme();

I have changed the default fontsize , background , and foreground for my header cells and row like so:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewHeaderCell}">
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="24"/>
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF407FCB" />
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewHeaderRow}">
    <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="24"/>
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="#FF407FCB" />
    <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White" />
</Style>
 

But unfortunately the "funnel surrounded by circle" filter button is still the default grey.

Is there a simple way to affect this.

Do I really have to extract the whole template just to set the color of the funnel ?

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

dco

Hello David ,

Since you are using StyleManager to apply the Windows8 Theme, you need to extract the ControlTemplate of the FilteringDropDown Button  in order to customize it. You can check the Editing Control Templates documentation article for more information on that matter.

After modifying the ControlTemplate you can apply it via style:
<Style TargetType="telerik:FilteringDropDown">
    <Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource DistinctFilterControlTemplate}"/>
</Style>

Please find attached a sample project illustrating the approach and let me know how it works for you.

Best Regards,

Can you change your example to windowstouch8 ... instead of windows8.

There's a hell of a lot of templates for the gridview and grabbing the right one from the files without a roadmap I find difficult.

thanks
